Right just swapped my D13 for a D16, went to see if it would work, and nothing, no priming of fuel tank but I have lights, electric windows working. But the old Honda security system was clicking which Ive never heard before, anybody got any ideas, have I missed something etc

Make sure the battery is nice and tightly connected
Had this happen to me on my old Coupe and turned out battery would get a bit loose.

Ground should be connected on valve cover, transmission and most importantly, thermostat housing.

All earth wires connected, still nothing, I think it might have something to do with the Honda security system
